Both organizations almost flatlined. But in July, they merged to form Haight Ashbury Free Clinics-Walden House. And to celebrate their first anniversary, 200 guests gathered June 1 in the Imperial Room of the St. Francis Hotel to rock out at the Black-Tie and Tie-Dye Gala.

Organized by chairwoman Marilyn Cabak and vice chairman John Rosin, the evening raised $105K for the organization's community health programs.

As a former client of both organizations, new CEO Vitka Eisen is a true believer in this merged mission.

"Both the clinic and Walden House were pioneers in nonjudgmental harm reduction for individuals and inmates suffering addiction and mental health issues," she said. "And we thought it was time for a party to celebrate our new birthday."

"I didn't have to buy anything," he said, with a laugh. "I just opened up my closet, and there it was."

Home run: Adults of all ages were as excited as Little Leaguers on May 29 during a Giants Community Fund reception starring former Giants super slugger Will Clark.

Hosted by fund board member and S.F. Giants co-owner Allan Byer, supporters pre-gamed across from the ballpark at Byer's private baseball shrine, the BABE (Bay Area Baseball Exhibition), which houses his collection of memorabilia.

Clark was delighted to dazzle wide-eyed guests who are super supporters for the fund's Junior Giants and health, education and anti-violence programs for youth.

"My job as a baseball player is to hand down the game to the next generation," he said. "The guys on the field tonight are our current generation. But the Junior Giants are our future."
